Over the years, PCs have been where I've played the most games.  I've had consoles (and currently still have a Nintendo Wii that I bought years ago), but it always seemed to be a little easier and less expensive to get PC games if you wanted to.  Shareware games have existed for a long time, and although limited, you can at least play a little bit of the game for free before you decide to buy the full version.  And there's always freeware games too.  There were never any freeware games for consoles in the 80s and 90s; I'm not sure about newer consoles where you can download games online.
